Protections at auto-gas filling stations

Whenever we enter a gas station to fill our vehicles, how many times does our thoughts ponder the risks involved during the service execution? The answer is seldom, but if we consider the risk and the level of destruction it can cause then we are again forced to think of the consequences. The main reason for the thought of risk not to occur is because the accidents or mishap is never heard of. And the factor contributing to this is the safety procedure and devices incorporated at the fuel stations. Let's go through the safety features in detail through this presentation.

  1. Protections at auto-gas filling stations Awan, the leading LPG distributer in Muscat

  2. Auto gas • Common name for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) usually used as a fuel in vehicles • It is popularly known as a “Green" fuel, as its use reduces CO2 exhaust emissions by about 15% with respect to petrol • Even after being the third most popular fuel in the world, it only accounts for just 3% of the market share • 5 countries contribute to half of the auto gas fuelled passenger vehicles in the world with Turkey leading from the front.

  3. Protection at a gas filling pump Safety is First and Foremost!!!

  4. basic protection • The automatic shut-off system helps to automatically cut off the gas supply • This is the bare basic protection that is applicable all stations but this is jus the tip of the safety iceberg! • Fill pipe for the underground storage tanks have sealed spill buckets which directs any fuel spills straight into the tank

  5. Tank overfill protection Flapper valve & float level Flapper valve which automatically cuts of the fuel supply when the required level is reached Float level indicator that triggers an alarm when the required level of fuel has reached Ball float Ball float in the vent pipe blocks the vapors from escaping and this vapor pressure stops any additional fuel from entering

  6. Tank Corrosion and leakage protection Corrosion protection Corrosion-resistant painted Tanks are used Tanks made up of resistant material like fiberglass are used Uncoated steel tanks use cathode corrosion prevention process to process intermittent pulses to remove rust Double walling Modern storage tanks come with double walling Space between is filled with brine The pressure of the brine is monitored In case of any leakage the pressure is reduce causing an alarm

  7. Protection during export • There are dedicated sensors that can detect even the smallest leakage • Spring-loaded leakage detectors that are ready to actuate in the event of any mismatch in the fuel pressure • The amount of export and the pressure in the tank is continuously monitored and any deviation triggers an alarm
